Review request for Dolphin and Kurt Hindenburg.


Description
-------

When view properties are stored in each folder, but we enter a folder without .directory file, we try to read the global view properties instead. To achieve that, we enable global view properties, then create a new ViewProperties object, and disable global view properties again.

However, if changing the "global view properties" setting fails (which apparently happens for some reason on MacOS), this causes an infinite recursion. I propose to fix this by creating a ViewProperties object for an empty URL instead and ensuring that the global view properties are loaded if the constructor is called with an empty KUrl.


This addresses bug 316209.

Testing

Works for me, no regressions so far. Testing on MacOS would be appreciated!


Thanks,
